Sutton Bluff ATV 13 - SB 13

Trail Overview

Sutton Bluff ATV 13, also known as Ramp (legal/emergency ID SB 13), is a 50-inch and under restricted trail within the Sutton Bluff OHV trail system, managed by the Mark Twain National Forest Salem Unit. SB 13 acts as the main entry point of the southwest corner into the large "far east section" of Sutton Bluff OHV and is also the closest entry to the Sutton Bluff Campground Area. Summary of the entire track: starting at the Northwest trailhead, SB 13 begins in the valley bottoms along the River Road Spur, heads east from the gate, and quickly turns southeast. It climbs uphill via one switchback to the ridgetop, where it shortly ends at its southeast trailhead marked by the crossing with SB 14 North and SB 14 South. SB 13's notable core elements include a natural coarse-gravel-dirt path featuring whoops, loose cobbles, mini boulders, natural rock slabs, tree roots, and small water-collection spots. To enjoy this trail and OHV system, obtain the required Sutton Bluff permit from Mark Twain National Forest, and if intending to use an ATV on Reynolds County Roads to commute between trails, obtain the Reynolds County ATV/UTV permit as well, in accordance with Missouri state laws.

Difficulty

SB 13 is given a base rating of 2/10, for having small 3-6-inch water collection spots, steep grades throughout the majority of the track, occasional small 3-6-inch fallen trees, tree roots acting as mini 3-8-inch ledges, loose 4-10-inch cobbles laying in the trail, 10-inch to 18-inch mini boulders, and natural slabs present on edges or mostly buried within the ground as part of the path. Difficulty can increase from heavy use and a lack of maintenance, large, over 6-inch fallen trees blocking the trail, wet or rainy conditions, inclement weather, or damage sustained from flash flooding. If the trail is actively flooding, consider it closed.
